Live Music Event

Band Bio

Please note this event is taking place at St Mary’s Parish Church in Ambleside

7:30pm Saturday 9th November

Aerial is proud to welcome Erland Cooper to Ambleside as our Saturday night Headliner. Erland is a Scottish composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist originally from Stromness, Orkney. As a solo artist, he has released five acclaimed studio albums, including a trilogy of work inspired by his childhood home, as well as themes of nature, people, place and time.

Erland is widely known for burying the only existing copy of the master tape of his first classical album in Scotland, deleting all digital files and leaving only a treasure hunt of clues for anyone to seek it. The tape was found in 2023 and the album will be released, exactly as it sounds from the earth along with the world premier of the completed score.

“Nature’s songwriter” – The Guardian

“One of the most unique, consistently engaging composers of his generation” – CLASH

Aerial is a festival of film, sounds and words taking place in Ambleside 8 - 10 November 2024. Visit aerialfestival.com for more info.
